there is a big difference between 15% and 0%. this study can be found right now on house speaker john boehner's website. speaker.gov. there are reports now seeping out of the ultrasecret bipartisan deficit reduction negotiations led by invite president joe biden that the ratio that was on the table when the republicans walked out was 83% spending cuts, 17% revenue increases. so when the talks got within a couple of percentage points of the ratio that republicans recently considered acceptable, why did the republicans walk out? senator chuck schumer knows why. >> let's not forget senator mcconnell made it clear last october that his number one priority above everything else is to defeat president obama. and now it's becoming clear that insisting on a slash and burn approach may be part of this plan. it has a double benefit for republicans. it's ideologically tidy and undermines economic recovery, which they think only helps them in 2012. >> the current position on tax revenues including the refusal to close tax loopholes is too ex
